Reading aloud a statement written by his father Chris at Woking Coroner's Court , Surrey Coroner Darren Stewart described him as a fit and active young man, despite an allergy to peanuts and suffering from asthma.

He had visited friends in Regina, Saskatchewan, before moving east to Winnipeg to meet up with his friend Bryce Duncan, whose evidence the coroner summarised to the inquest.

The coroner said: "It would appear that on September 2, 2015, Henry and Mr Duncan both got up to go a cabin in the countryside.

"They arrived in the cabin about early afternoon at which point they consumed LSD. It was about 2.30pm to 3pm.

"At that point they were just hanging out, drinking beers, laughing and chatting while looking out at a view over a valley.

"Subsequent to this Henry then started to go downhill and then laid down on the grass and look up at the sky.

"He then started to act in a bizarre fashion.

"Mr Duncan identified mood swings and behaviour in a manner which was bizarre, almost demonstrating a manicness - running around, throwing himself on the ground and throwing himself in trees and bushes."

"I accept those findings that the medical cause of death of Henry Suggitt was one of LSD toxicity and as a consequence record a conclusion of drug-related death."

Turning to his parents who both attended the inquest at Woking Coroners' Court he added: "I can only imagine how painful it must be to lose someone so young with such a promising future."

Since losing their son to what they described was a "one-off" drug experiment, his parents have raised more than £20,000 for the Surrey-based Eikon Charity, who go in schools and inform children about the dangers of taking drugs, even in isolated incidents.

Describing her son, Brigitte Suggitt, 51, said afterwards: "He was a very fit, healthy young man and he was not a normal drug-taker.

"This was a one-off but he chose to do it with his friend.

"For us we wanted to let others know about the dangers in that even one-off drug taking can have a devastating impact.
